2 Guns Found Near Where Cop Was Shot

KILDEER — Two weapons allegedly used in a shootout in which a Round Lake Beach police detective was seriously wounded last week were found in a swamp in a woods near Kildeer, police said Wednesday.

Lake County Sheriff Clinton Grinnell said a 9 mm pistol and a fully automatic AK-47 assault rifle were found in the same area where police last week captured Jimmy Files, 49, of Grandwood Park near Gurnee. Police had been searching for the weapons since early last week.

Files and David J. Morley, 50, of 330 W. 47th St., Chicago, were both charged last week with the attempted murder of Round Lake Beach Police Sgt. David Ostertag.
